Can't really call it weather, if you're indoors. :-) I like gales and storms and such. It's just that they're sometimes inconvenient. Like when the wind is a steady 70 mph and you have to walk several blocks to the store to get some Pine-Sol for field day. I was getting hit in the face with pebbles up to 4 mm across. I had to go back to the room and put on my flak jacket, dust goggles, and helmet (the soft cover offered me all the head protection I needed, but I had felt like an idiot walking around with my hand on my head to keep my cover on). For leg protection I used mind over matter, "If you don't mind, it don't matter." Then there was the metal kite in the typhoon... -R -- "...And the last thing I remember is asking, 'What could go wrong?'" _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
